Good to know:

• The app lets you choose if you want to keep a copy of your recording on your TiVo PVR, or download it to your phone instead. Keep in mind that if you download a show or movie to your mobile device, it will automatically be deleted from your TiVo PVR.
• All mobile devices must be on the same home network in order to download content from a TiVo PVR.
• Some channels block the download of shows to mobile devices because of their copy-protection requirements. In other cases, you are only entitled to have one copy of the recording.
• TiVo 4K PVR recordings are not available for download or streaming on mobile devices.
• Video On Demand programs cannot be recorded or downloaded.

Streaming content on your device

• Recordings you’ve downloaded are listed within the On Phone (or On Tablet) tab.
• Streaming content when paired to a TiVo PVR is limited to 2 simultaneous viewings while at home, and to one streaming session while away from home.
